Mongrel #1 – Review

“Mongrel: Son of a Bitch is a 3-part gritty urban horror comic
mini-series created by writer Ed Dunphy and artist Andrew M. Kudelka.
It’s about Eric, a vicious werewolf that’s Hell-bent on destroying an
established supernatural wolfpack in Chicago, and Will, the
tough-as-nails homicide detective who is trying to solve the gruesome
string of murders on his turf. The 1st full-color issue debuted at
DanCon 2012 and will see a second limited release at C2E2 in Chicago in
April. After a planned April Kickstarter campaign, the book will be
available for order online at www.VelvetLeafPublishing.com and in select
comic shops. The second issue will be ready in early summer, followed
by the finale in late summer. Those wishing updates should contact the
creators at: VLPcomics@hotmail.com.”

Dying Breath: 4.5 out of 5Someone call PETA there is a werewolf massacre taking place!
From GORE-Geous artwork to a very engaging story Mongrel #1 has it all.
The art by Kudelka is spot on from panel to panel. He draws an amazing
looking werewolf and has a great grasp on the human form as well. Now
personally I know that this book came out in black and white, and while I
like it with the color, I do think it worked better in the B&W
style, personal preference though. The story by Dunphy is gripping and
action packed. For a first issue it does a great job of setting up for
the series as well as grabbing my mind and making it want more. The
dialogue is perfect and I really got a sense of being there, almost as
if I was watching a movie. With more issues on the horizon I can not
wait to see how this plays out. With the werewolf resurgence in full
effect right now it is awesome to get Mongrel out there for the masses.
This is a series not to be missed.
